Salesforce CPQ for aerospace composites — 30% faster quotes, 95% order accuracy

Axiom Materials, a Toray Advanced Composites company, manufactures qualified prepreg and resin systems for aerospace, defense, and space programs. Bluvium partnered with their digitalization team to transform quoting and order accuracy on Salesforce CPQ.

The challenge

Axiom Materials sells highly engineered composite materials into programs where part numbers, qualifications, lot sizes, and customer-specific specifications drive pricing. Quotes were prepared manually, requiring back-and-forth between sales, engineering, and operations to confirm product configurations and pricing. The process was slow, error-prone, and didn't scale with growing demand from aerospace and defense customers.

System complexity

Aerospace composite quoting carries unusual constraints: qualified product lists per program, customer-specific tolerances, batch-and-lot pricing, MOQ rules, and downstream order accuracy requirements that flow directly into manufacturing. A mispriced or misconfigured quote doesn't just cost margin — it can disrupt production planning and customer commitments on programs where delivery slips have real consequences.

The team needed a system that could enforce product and pricing rules at the point of quoting, eliminate manual handoffs between sales and operations, and produce orders that flowed cleanly into manufacturing without rework.

What we built

  • Salesforce CPQ implementation with product catalog and configurable bundles for prepreg and resin systems
  • Pricing rules and discount governance aligned to program, customer, and volume tiers
  • Automated quote generation replacing manual spreadsheet workflows
  • Approval flows that route only exceptions to leadership — standard deals move without delay
  • Tighter integration between quote configuration and downstream order data to reduce rework

The outcome

  • 30% reduction in quote generation time — sales team responds faster to customer requests
  • 25% increase in sales productivity — reps spend more time selling, less time chasing internal approvals and configurations
  • 95% accuracy in quotes and orders — fewer downstream corrections, cleaner manufacturing handoff
  • Enhanced customer satisfaction through faster, more reliable responses
"Our team successfully implemented Salesforce CPQ, transforming our sales process and significantly improving operational performance and efficiency. I'd like to extend a special thank you to our solution partner, Bluvium, for their expertise and support throughout the implementation process. Their collaboration was instrumental in our success." — Alper Ornek, Digitalization Manager, Axiom Materials
